ok i have a dell E1505 i got vista sometime back and i wanted aero but sopsily my Intel GMA 950 Graphics Cards was not the right card today so but it works just fine if you want to do this heres how.

This is how I got Vista Glass to run on a GMA950:

First, I had to open up device manager. Click on the start menu and type in devmgmt.msc and Enter to load it up.

Once there, expand the Display Adapters section and right click on each device and select Uninstall.

Reboot the computer.

When it restarts, it should install a generic video driver so your screen will still work.

Go back into Device Manager, expand the Display Adapters section again and then right click on the device and select Update Driver.

This time select Browse My Computer for Driver and then Let me pick it from a list.

Go the the Intel section and select the Intel? Lakeport Graphics Controller.

Hit OK and install the new driver. Restart your computer.

Once you have rebooted, right click on your desktop and select Personalize again.

Click on Windows Colors and Appearance.

Click on Open classic appearance properties for more color options. aero.jpg

In the Color Scheme box, select Windows Vista Aero.

Hit OK and glass will now load.

If glass does not work for you, go back to Device Manager and ensure the new display driver is working.

it work on there chipset Mobile Intel? 915GM/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family i tryed it one my old labtop it work just fine

i sujest having 1 gb of ram i tryed it with 512 mb sysem ran slow with aero on with 1 gb of ram allmost as fast as it nomaly diok i changed it a bit so the screen should not go blank now follow the new onesb>

I've not been able to get Aero working either. Looking into a new video card in the near future. Until then...

I'm using a Gateway DX200 S Desktop - Has this been tested with Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family? Will it work?

The 950 is the only intel integrated chip designed to handle the Aero UI since it supports DirectX 9, Pixel Shader 2.0, etc. However other DX9 intel chipsets might be capable of handling it.

I guess I'll have to save up and buy a compatible nVidia PCI Express video card. As I said in another thread, According to Windows Vista Beta 2 HARDWARE Compatibility List, this should work. It's not a 7 series, but it is less expensive.

NVIDIA? GeForce? 6600/b>

*Maximum Resolution 2048 x 1536 @ 85Hz

*Video Memory 256MB

*Memory Type 128-bit DDR

*Memory Bandwidth 8.0GB/sec.

*Interface Type PCI Express

*Connector(s) DVI, HDTV, VGA

Why not try it yourself, since it seems to be a DX9 graphics chipset :) ?

Just thought someone may have tried it with 910GL. Don't wanna screw things up. But you're right. I should give it a shot, I suppose. :D

    • finally [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
